Rave about starter homes and 20k? Loan, we need loans!

The main problem I have with starter houses is that I hate having to move my sims once they're in a lot.
I don't like building, but I don't mind renovating, so most of my sims still live in the same house generations later. The house, however, bears no resemblance to what it looks like in the lot catalog. :)

I'm not sure I actually like renovating. I do get into a building mode sometimes and have built a couple of things I quite like, mainly beach comm lots, since those are a bugger to transfer between hoods. I do the renovation thing a lot though. Emma's house in Matysdoorp is a transfer from my first hood and is actually an evolved base game 1 bedroom bungalow/cottage (not sure what it was called). It now has 2 floors 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a workout room, deck with hot tub, upstairs patio, large library/music room, and a nursery. I think the kitchen is original to the house. I think the thing I really don't like is moving families from one house to the next. Once they're established, I like them to stay put.

If the elders had the ability to encourage anyone, and if their lot were full of skilling objects and such, it could be like a neat knowledge monastary thing on the mountain. They could meditate to avoid peeing, and encourage the neighborhood to have better personalities. Perhaps something combined with Inge's school hacks?

Hrm, I could see that. Set all the kids on student tokens and call them in, then have them do tai chi, play mah jong, and garden for an Eastern theme.

I hate re-placing decorations and objects. I'm really not a huge fan of decorating for the Sims anymore, despite how it looks from my screenshots. The only things I care about are the highly individual things like wall hanging recolors for specific families, and 'hood objects for advertising stores and individualization. New houses get the basics and flood-filled the same paint color, then I go back and decorate a room each day. If money allows, of course. I'm not going through that crap more than once for the same (adult) sims. That's why families that get larger than I want start getting culled if I can't find a way to squeeze the extra family members in. I'm not building on, and ruining the concept I had, and decorating another stupid room, just because they couldn't keep it in their pants. Someone gets to die.
